MythBusters Cannonball Experiment Misfires in California

This is a video that was taken from ABC7 news late last night. Mythbusters were testing which materials would leave a cannon better than a cannonball. The answer is... nothing!

I used to be fan of mythbusters, then I took an cannonball in the knee.

Really? You make your home less than 700 yards from a bomb range and are "stunned" when something like this happens? Really?

It never ceases to amaze me how idiots that do stupid stuff (And I aint talking about the Mythbusters here!) can be "stunned" when some easily foreseeable consequence falls in their lap.

These people are up there with those idiots who go hiking into dangerous foreign countries and are "stunned" when they get captured and imprisoned.

@carrija

video has been stabilized post-prod, the camera was probably chacking heavily...

what's up with the background of the video at about 1:33 looks like its just a screen not a house

I Like Mythbusters too. I watch several times maybe everyday for the past years but I didn't expect this thing will happen on the show. I hope it will not happen again. More power on the Mythbusters Team!

У них что дома из картона и пластмассы делают?

@TheyCallMeLevitius I accidentally put "an" instead of "a." Sooooo Sorry. Can you ever forgive me?
